Poetic Works: 1993 - 2023

About this book

In the darkness of longing and among the corridors of a memory that never sleeps, the book 'Poetic Works' (1993-2023) by Yasser Younes appears—not as a mere poetry collection but as a human document transcending time, distilling thirty years of anxiety, wonder, fractures, and renewed births. This work is a journey into the mind of a poet who refused to follow the battles of literary schools, choosing instead to build his own kingdom of 'rhymed, metered verse,' proving that the ancient rhythm can still contain the pains of the modern age and its estrangement. Across more than three thousand and three hundred poetic lines, the work's tone ranges between calm wisdom and screaming rebellion. You will find yourself at times in 'Wandering Echoes' surveying youthful beginnings, and at other times lost in 'Scheherazade's Nights' or weighed down by 'The Cross of Bacchus the Lover,' where ecstasy mixes with pain and the poem becomes a last refuge from a world 'in which everyone applauds the sultan.' It is an experience that addresses not only the elite but touches the heart of every human.
